Mom on Epilepsy Forum Needs Support

((((((HUGS TO ALL))))))

A mom, who is new to seizures, has posted on the Epilepsy forum seeking support, information, and experiences. Her 12 year old son is having Gelastic seizures and is taking Keppra. She's quite frightened and is trying to understand what is happening to her son.

She isn't receiving many responses beyond mine and another BT member. So, if any of you could mosey on over to the Epilepsy forum, with advice, guidance, and support, I'm sure she would be grateful. I think she would benefit from hearing from other moms, whose children have seizures, regardless of type.

Mom to Jon, 48, (seizure disorder; Gtube; trache; colostomy; osteoporosis; hypothyroid; enlarged prostate; lymphedema, assorted mysteries) and Michael, 32, (intractable seizures; Gtube), who were born with an undiagnosed progressive neuromuscular disease and courageous spirits. Our Angel Michael received his wings in 2003 and now resides in Heaven. Our Angel Jon lives at home with me and Jim, the world's most wonderful dad.
